Altadis wanted to do something big for Montecristo's 80th anniversary, and they did! This delicious cigar is the pure essence of Cubanesque, very appropriate when celebrating a brand that originated in Cuba in 1935. This very limited edition of Montecristo is made with a cuban-seed tobacco called "Pilotico", grown and cured by the Mendez family in Dominican Republic. The wrapper is a flawless Ecuadorian Sumatra. A medium to full bodied smoke that is nutty, leathery and sweet.

This year marks Montecristo's 80th year anniversary, and what a way to commemorate 80 years of Montecristo with an anniversary cigar. The cigar is wrapped in a rich dark oily Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. After lighting my cigar I notice a sweetness behind a nutty leathery tone. In the retro-hale I notice some cinnamon and nutmeg giving this cigar a wonderful complexity. Definitely a cigar to try and even collect!
